7 New Ways To Eat Toast for Dinner, Because This Breakfast Staple Is Good Any Time of Day

My favorite part of eating toast for dinner is how decidedly grown-up it makes me feel. Not because it's a particularly involved method of preparation, or because it requires any real mastery — it's quite the opposite, actually. I experience the same feeling of adult bravado when I eat chips or candy in lieu of a real meal. It's the old "I can do whatever I want for dinner because nobody's going to stop me — whether it's eating dessert first, ingesting 200 grams of sugar, or eating dinner with my hands."

Unlike a bag of Swedish fish or Smartfood (hey, everyone has their vices), toast — topped with vegetables and proteins — is a low-key, affordable dinner that will keep you satiated on a budget. It also somehow feels fancier than a regular sandwich.
